A noble嫡女 (legitimate daughter of a high-ranking official) is framed and falls to the borderlands, losing her memory and becoming a farmer's wife. Su Nanxi arrives with a space (a mystical ...
In such a vast city as the capital, something is happening all the time in every corner. This is quite common. It's not impossible to accidentally stumble into someone else's battlefield!
Since it's someone else's home turf and none of your business, you can simply pretend you don't know anything, not bother them, and quietly leave!
No matter where you are, the more you know, the more disadvantageous it is to you. The best way is to stop in time and get out of there before others notice you!
Su Nanxi and his companions could have easily escaped unscathed, but upon seeing the empty street, quiet and deserted, with an unusual atmosphere swirling around them, they knew it was definitely not a good sign!
Given their abilities, if they spot something from afar, they can simply turn and leave without getting involved. That would be the wisest course of action and would be most in line with their style of doing things.
They generally don't like to meddle in other people's troubles. There are countless big and small things happening in the capital, so why should they care?
Can they really control so much?
Doing your job well is already quite good. Other people's affairs are their own business, so why bother with their karma?
So bored!
Logically, the same should have been true this time; they should have glanced at it and turned to leave. However, unfortunately, if they had really left, none of this would have happened.
Su Nanxi called out "Grandfather" involuntarily. She didn't know if it was the original owner's subconscious or if she recognized him herself. She was a little surprised that the old man was there, so she blurted it out in confusion. In any case, the fact is that she called out!
The sound wasn't loud; in fact, it was quite quiet. If you weren't paying attention, an ordinary person might not even be able to hear it clearly. But in this open space, coupled with the eerie silence all around, and the fact that the other person had exceptional hearing, it was heard just like that!
He originally intended to let these people go; they didn't seem like the kind of people who wanted to settle scores with him. He figured it was better to avoid trouble and would just turn a blind eye. He didn't plan to pay any attention to Su Nanxi and the others as long as they turned around and left.
But the cry of "Grandfather" was like a thunderclap, waking the old man in the wheelchair. He looked up sharply, his eyes sharp as a hawk, quickly finding and locking onto his target, and habitually scrutinizing him.
Su Nanxi suddenly realized that she had gotten herself into trouble and was doomed. There was a reason why she had said those words that caused her trouble.
It seems unlikely we'll be able to go back so easily today!
It's all my fault. I couldn't control my mouth. Why did I blurt it out at such a crucial moment?
This is not the time for tearful family reunions. There are clearly restless forces stirring up trouble everywhere, and they are in danger right now!
That's right, the person sitting in the wheelchair opposite is the original owner's maternal grandfather, Old Master Long, who is also known as General Long. He was once an invincible general, but he was injured in a fierce battle, which caused him to be unable to walk. So he retired and returned to his old home to recuperate.
But a man who had fought on the battlefield for half his life was not one to sit idle. In addition, he was seriously injured and was once bedridden and unable to take care of himself. For someone who had been proud all his life, this was extremely painful and torturous. He could not accept that he was so useless and could not get over the psychological hurdle, which led to the aggravation of his condition.
For a long time, he stayed home and refused visitors, shutting himself in and ignoring everything else, living a depressed life.
The Long family understood this, and considering the old man's feelings and dignity, they didn't force him to do anything. Instead, they tried their best to cheer him up, believing that everything would gradually get better once he understood.
Unfortunately, Grandpa Long never understood this. Due to his physical condition, he was unable to walk and was even more unwilling to interact with outsiders. He didn't even want to leave the house; he simply didn't have the courage to open the door and see the outside world.
The original owner rarely saw him either. He deliberately avoided seeing anyone, and there was nothing that could be done about it. One couldn't disobey the old man.
You know what, that old man has quite a temper and is very stubborn. Besides, he's been on the battlefield for so long, so his authority isn't something that just disappears. Who in the family would dare to think about changing him?
Besides, the patient is the most important person. You have to go along with them and appease them first, and then slowly try to change things around later, but you can't be too obvious about it.
Su Nanxi was puzzled. If that was the case, wasn't this old man supposed to keep her locked in a dark room all year round?
Why did you suddenly appear on the street tonight? And look, you've gotten into trouble!
How could someone who hasn't left the house in years have offended someone? Who did they offend? Who is so blind?
Could it be that they were the old man's old enemies who finally caught him out for some fresh air and thought it was a great opportunity, so they gathered their men without saying a word to teach the old man a lesson?
You really can't blame her. She just couldn't understand it, so she had the misfortune of yelling it out.
Although she was wearing a veil, she didn't wear any ugly makeup. With the original owner's naturally beautiful face, she was very recognizable. As soon as she lifted it, she would be seen by everyone!
I thought everything was fine, but oh dear, I was careless!
The old man couldn't possibly be unfamiliar with the original owner's voice. He used to dote on the original owner, and it's fair to say that he remembers the original owner's voice, appearance, and smile very clearly.
There was nothing he could do; he didn't have a granddaughter of his own, but his sons had a whole bunch of grandsons. He couldn't even have a sweet, soft little girl, which was very disappointing!
And he only has one granddaughter, so he has to cherish her!
As soon as Su Nanxi spoke up, she belatedly realized that she was in big trouble.
The situation is still unclear. If the old man focuses on her and forgets the danger behind it, wouldn't that be her responsibility?
Forget it, let's just leave!
It's not impossible that the old man thought he was hallucinating because he missed his granddaughter so much!
But Su Nanxi had already stepped into a dangerous place, and after lingering for a moment, she was secretly classified as an enemy force, and was now in cahoots with Old Master Long. It was too late for her to leave.
Once you run into them, getting away isn't that easy!
"Bai Lu, we really didn't check the almanac before we went out today! We've encountered so many things like this along the way. We clearly had no intention of resorting to violence, but they're forcing us to fight. What kind of trouble is this? We'll have to burn incense and pray to Buddha later. I don't know which deity we offended! There are quite a few people this time, are you up to it?"
Seeing that she couldn't leave, Su Nanxi simply stopped pretending and started chatting quietly with Bai Lu.
Bai Lu remained vigilant and on guard at all times, replying, "It's not our fault, those people are blind and insisted on dragging us into a fight! We can't control how many people there are, but we can never say no!"
Seeing Bai Lu's serious expression, Su Nanxi wanted to laugh.
Who are you?
